In most instances, the amount of the bond must be for at least 10% of the plan's assets at the end of plan year, PLUS any additional contributions you will be deducting on your 2024 tax return.

A reminder for those plans not on a recordkeeping platform: Please provide copies of the 2024 YEAR-END brokerage statement(s) for your plan(s) as soon as possible.
